From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There’s countless people who talk about wanting to support it & contrabute but nobody actually wants to drive it forward. I understand your disappointment.

It needs a company and money behind it to make it happen. I expect as X11 gets further behind, if Wayland ends up not meeting the needs of enough corporate interests, something (probably not X12) will get made to address it.

Arcan looks interesting. It is a lot to ingest and think about.
